Would you like to help out the Depot and be a part of our next exhibit at the museum? We are planning a Toy Trains exhibit for the Christmas season and need a few items to display. We do not need electric train sets or layouts-- we have plenty of those in all scales. What we are looking for are other toys with a train theme or look. I've attached a few pictures of examples of what we are looking for. If you have any items you would be willing to borrow for our exhibit, please message us. We promise to return them in as good or better shape than you lend them to us!

We love a great story! Especially a historical ones 😉. 💚🤍💚

✨ A journal entry from the archives is getting its proper introduction. ✨

When the railroad finally reached Scottsville in 1886, it did more than give local residents a new way to travel.

It gave Allen County a new way to do business.

To***co, corn, wheat, livestock, lumber, barrel staves, wagon spokes, railroad ties, and other products moved through Scottsville’s freight depot and out to markets far beyond the county. Goods from across the country came back in the other direction.

Our earlier Journal entry on the Scottsville Train Depot focused largely on the passenger side of the railroad story, the trains, the travelers, and the connection they gave Scottsville to the wider world.

What the Railroad Carried: The Freight Depot That Changed Scottsville tells the other half.

It looks at the freight that passed through town, the businesses that developed around the railroad, and the role the depot played in helping transform East Main Street into an important commercial district.

And unlike the passenger depot standing today, the old wooden freight depot is not a reconstruction.

It is a surviving piece of Scottsville’s original railroad era.

This entry has actually been in The Scottsville Journal for a little while, but between work, school, and everything else, I never gave it the proper introduction here on Facebook.

So, if you read our original Train Depot story, consider this Part Two. 🚂
